Acceleration patterns of the head and pelvis when walking on level and irregular surfaces.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that one of the primary objectives of the postural control system when walking on irregular surfaces is head control, and that subjects adapt their stepping pattern on irregular surface to ensure that the head remains stable.
Journal ArticleDOI

Muscle-tendon interaction and elastic energy usage in human walking

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the elastic recoil takes place not as a spring-like bouncing but as a catapult action in natural human walking.
Journal ArticleDOI

Automated person recognition by walking and running via model-based approaches

TL;DR: Results show that both gaits are potential biometrics, with running being more potent than walking, and a phase-weighted Fourier description gait signature by automated non-invasive means is derived.
Journal ArticleDOI

Walking stability and sensorimotor function in older people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

TL;DR: Older people with DPN have an impaired ability to stabilize their body when walking on irregular surfaces, even if they adopt a more conservative gait pattern, which provides further insights into the role of peripheral sensory input in the control of gait stability.

Stride and cadence as a biometric in automatic person identification and verification

TL;DR: A correspondence-free method to automatically estimate the spatio-temporal parameters of gait (stride length and cadence) of a walking person from video, which works with low-resolution images of people and is robust to changes in lighting, clothing and tracking errors.
